Warped records skip, wobble, and wear out your stylus. ORB's flatteners from Japan use gentle, even heat and pressure to bring them back to flat without harming the sound. We run one in our own shop every day, so we know it works.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take?

The full process takes about four hours: two to heat up and two to cool down.

Will it affect the sound?

The machine heats only the outer edge and center of the record, not the grooves, so their shape is preserved.

What records can't be flattened?

SP records, heavy-weight records (DF-01IA+ can handle some), and flexi discs aren't supported, and styrene records can't be flattened.

When will it ship?

Each unit is made to order in Japan, so allow up to three weeks for delivery.
